Have you ever heard of a Craft Social? They exist in different forms around the country, but the one I linked to is the Chicago one. It’s an evening to get together with friends and other crafters to work on different craft projects. You can bring your own stuff, or you can float around to the different tables, each which offers a different project to work on. I’ve attended a couple of these and walked away with a decoupaged cup coaster, spiral notebook with cereal box covers, keychains, cute cards/envelopes and I forget what else. You should see if there’s one in your neck of the woods, they’re super fun!

This is a photo from a previous Craft Social, which has been held in my old church’s lobby . . . the upcoming Social will be at a cool new location which I’ve been to a couple times for work retreats:

Catalyst Ranch, downtown Chicago. Check out their website for great photos of their AMAZING colorful, retro/vintage space.

First... the craft social looks AMAZING! I should check into something like that around here in CO!

I am actually popping in to say a huge heartfelt thank you for commenting on my blog (colour her hope). It meant a lot to me. Sometimes the words that are few but let me know you care mean SO much more than anything else. Thank you so much. -Jami

About Me

I'm a married, working mother of 3. In my daydream life I have a horse ranch in Colorado where I live when not touring small clubs, because, you know, I'm a singer-songwriter. In real life I work in higher ed in Chicago, dabble with sewing and knitting for my Etsy shop, and keep saying that THIS will be the year I teach myself to play the guitar. I get hot & bothered by music, dance, social justice and stuff that makes me laugh.
